I believe the answer is:

itchiest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'burning most of the other newspaper in box' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'the other newspaper in box' is the wordplay.
'the other' becomes 'it' (old-fashioned UK slang for sex).
'newspaper' becomes 'i' (UK newspaper).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'box' becomes 'chest' (chest is a kind of box).
'i' going within 'chest' is 'chiest'.
'it'+'chiest'='ITCHIEST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for itchiest that I've seen before include "Most restless" , "extremely irritating" .)
